Grant Reviewers Needed, PennSERVE

Posted by on October 26, 2009

PennSERVE is once again looking for peer reviewers for the 2010-2011 Pennsylvania AmeriCorps*State Applications. The deadline for receipt of applications is December 3, 2009.

If you know individuals who are familiar with AmeriCorps and who you think have the ability to evaluate an AmeriCorps proposal using pre-determined criteria, please provide me with contact information.   Unfortunately, there is no compensation and reviewers must sign “no conflict of interest “statements.   However, it is a good experience that offers insight into grant writing, collaborative partnerships and program design.  Estimated time it takes for reviewing  each application is 2-3 hours.

The peer reviewers will undergo an orientation by conference call during the week of Nov 30th and will receive no more than 3 or 4 applications (depending on what is received), along with scoring sheets by Dec 7.  Completed review sheets  are due back to PennSERVE no later than December 22nd.

Thnaks in advance for your help. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
